Help me get through tonight...

[PinkCardigan93]

Have had some bad news today. Feel numb, disconnected, and like I want to curl up alone in a dark room.

Instead I've just taken a 3hr train to meet boyfriend, his sister and her new partner (pre-arranged.) They've organised this night out together for me to meet SIL's new fella.

I love her and love my partner, but I am NOT in mood to socialise. I need motivation. I need an empowering slap to help me to pull it together.

I need you Mumsnetters!

That’s hard! I’d go for it but apologise to them before you start if you aren’t able to stay as late as planned, or tend to zone out at intervals. “I really want to be here and get to know you, but I’ve had some awful news so may be a bit flaky!”
